@backwash consider a Bricasti M3. I can't say enough good about this piece
What next after Lumin T2
I have the Lumin T2 streaming DAC. I have been pretty happy with it so far. I am now thinking that I can do better on the DAC side of things. Is it a good idea to go from the Lumin to an outboard DAC of higher quality? Or should I look for a better streaming DAC. I listen almost totally from Qbuz or Tidal. I have a hard wired connection from my router to the Lumin. Rambling a little, I guess the main question is what's the next best step up from what I have. I am using a Modwright KWH 225i, and Tyler Acoustics Woodmere II speakers. mid-level, older synergistic research cabling. And a Puritan Labs 156. Thanks, Allen.

@backwash I agree that it depends a lot on what you are looking for in an upgrade. The X1 is certainly a significant hardware upgrade and for many also a significant sonic upgrade. If you want the best-of-the-best Lumin then of course you'd go with the X1. But if you are looking for something that would lean in a different direction, then there are lots of different options. Don't rush to replace the T2, and instead try to compare its analog output to that of other DACs to see if there is (or there is not) one that you like better. |
